IMPORTANT CORRECTION.
THE wOMEN's CHRISTIAN AssO-
CITATION IL NOT RICH.
IL In not In Debt, stIu ID Needs the
strong Arm Of n Generous
Public support.
To the Editors Of tho Appeal:

10 the Editors OF tho Appeal;
l notice In your columns Of the 18th
inst. a statement which is m sic aiding,
aud which will in all pr liability prove
detrimental to the Women's Christian
Association. lis to the effect that
this charitable organ cation has $4,000
invested and is entirely frse from
debt. The facts are that the Women's
Christian Association, though free
from debt at the present time,
have not one dollar invested
and only very small amount
in bank, not more than enough
to pay their current exoeuses for
one week. The misunderstanding
arose from thu following rcum.
stances: By the will cf the la.e Mrs.
John l. Atkinson $1,000 was left to
the Women's Christian Association in
trust for the purpose Of building
Children's home. This legacy, owing
TO legal complication and delays, was
not paid over to the Association until
the interest due brought the amount
up TO $1,000. BY the will OF Mr.. O. O..
Graham $500 was given the Aesocia-
ton for the same purpose, and these
two amounts, together with a few
other small donations, increased the
"Children's Home fund" to the sam
OF $1,000, which was put out at inter-
est lately TO await the raising of the
balance nee essary for the funding OF
this much needed charity.
As il will be necessary for the
Women's Christian ABso ciation to up.
peal ere long to the generosity OF the
public for funds to carry On the char
table work Ghey nov have under their
charge, II is evident that the report
that they have 80 large sum as $4,000
invested will not help them to procure
the money they are urgently in need
OF. The difficulty Of procuring sub
scriptlons for any charity, no matter
how meritorious nor how imperative
the need ,is always 80 iii iently onerous,
and / therefore venture to ask you to
make this correction OF report which
Is calculated to still further enhance
the difficulties Of he work of the
Women's Christian Association.

ONE MORE FIGHT FOR THE EDUCATIONAL
BILL.
Friends OF the educational bill are
preparing to make one more fight for
IL in the House. The bull, it will be
smembeIed, has passed the Senate 7
and is pending on the House calendar,
having been reported from the Labor
Committee. MIR. Willis, of Kentucky,
who is particularly jealous il the sup
port OF this bill, has been actively at I
work since the completion of the river
and hafb0r bill, pulling together the
not very well orgsnize1 support of
this measure in the House. He be-
lieves that he has now sufficient
strength TO pass the bill, and as the
Labor Committee has the morning
hour this week he has succeeded in
extracting promise that the bill shall
have hearing.
THE FRERDMAN's BANK DEPosIToEs.
Comptroller Trenholm has pre-
scented to the House Committee on
Banking and Currency a draft of a
bill sppropriating 81 900, 600 to reim-
burse The depo5itors OF the Freed
mans B lnk. and made an argument
in support If the measure. He also
intimated his willingness to appear
before the committee a. its next meet
ing to explain mis- views regarding the
change necessary to be made in the
national banking laws to insure basis
of circulation.
CARLISLE FOR THE SENATE.
1t seems to be pretty well under
stood here that Carlisle is a candidate
for the Senate to succeed Beck. He
docs not say so openly, but the fact
that he peIsistently declines to reply
to the published statements that he is
candidate is accepted as evidence
that he is will ing to be elected to the
place. A gentleman who is very init
mate with him said to your CORE
spondent in talking of the mater:
~ am not, OF course, authorized to
speak for Mr.. Carlisle, but think his
attitude is about this: HE will not 60
in for scramble for the place, but
will not object 10 his friends putting
his name before the Legislature at the
proper time 1 think he has grown
tired of the House, and saes that be
has got about all there is out Of it.
The Senate would be promotion to
him, aud would be more in his par,
ticuar line OF craftsmanship. He ia
more at home in body where calm,
dignified argument weighs more than
in one where lungs and muscle are
the chief requisites"

MAYOR HEMITT
In q Very Critical Condition From
Rheumatism.

NEW York, January 13.-The state
melt that Mayor Abram s. Hewitt
died today is untrue. His private Sec
rotary, Mr.. Berry, stated that he had
Just come from Mayor Hewitt's resi.
dence, and that there was but little
change ia his condition. "The rheu-
matte attack" he said, chad not as yet
assumed any serious proportions, and
the patient was doing we'll under the
treatment he was receiving"
The statement OF the death OF the
Mayor was quite generally believed,
as 1t came from source heretofore
almost uniformly reliable.
For the past few days rumors have
been circulating to the effect that the
Mayors condition was critical, and
added to these was one quite freely
circulated yesterday that Mr.. Hewitt
was dead.
1t is learned, however, that the
Mayors condition is not so hopeful as
his friends would have the public be-
lieve. The rheumatic Inflammation
which commenced at the knee has
gradually spread and has extended to
the stomach, aud fears are enter aimed
that il it is not speedily checked it
may reach some vital organ and result
in his sudden demise.
